Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Deep reddish chestnut with a scummy head, and an attractive cherry red gleam in the sunlight; piney, resinous, American hop aroma; grainy body with some sharp hops from the start; then a long dry, chewy, finish with green birch wood and perhaps a touch of grapefruit. A great beer, but rather flat and dull looking - perhaps an example of one of those cask beers that’s better from the keg than from the cask.

Cask at the Bird in Hand, Knowl Hill. Pale amber with a thin white head; tropical fruit aroma; lip-smaking tropical fruit taste; with a grapefruit pith bitterness, then a long dry finish with lingering fruit, and perhaps a trace of oats. Very pleasant.

Tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013 - Session 1. Pours clearish gold with a slight, white cream head and a fleet of floaties adrift in the liquid. Nose of citrus, lemon and ginger. Light to medium sweet flavor with light floral notes, juniper, orange, lemon and light pine needles. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly dry to finish with some orange and other citrus peel, along with flowers. A nice take on the IPA. Good.

Tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013 - Session 1. Pours oily black with little head. Burnt wood nose with light vanilla notes. Medium to big sweet flavor, oily, with rich chocolate, light wood, some booze, moderate dark fruits. Full bodied with soft carbonation. Lightly warming to finish with soft mocha notes, light woody dryness. No condition here, really. The general character is nice but with better conditioning the beer could be much better.
